security adviser, henry kissinger, drew the lesson from past efforts to negotiate with both the chinese and the russians that peripheral intelligence operations more frequently would result in scuttling these diplomatic overtures than not and therefore he went about shutting down all operations targeting the chinese that he felt had any risk of ruining next on's opening to china. one of them, sadly beings was support for the tibetans. it's often been said and you'll find it in a lot of the literature, that the chinese insisted that the u.s. drop its support for the tibetans in order to establish relations with the chinese. sadly, in our research, we found that there really isn't anything to document the fact that the chinese insisted on this, an on the contrary, there's plenty of information to show that it was the american side that unilaterally cut off support for the chinese. it began by demobilizing the fighters at the guerrilla base in mustang, trying to reintegrate them into civilian operations, but by 1974, it had reached the point where in order to set up formal diplomatic recog

, henry kissinger said as he was the chief advisor for nixon, and others, that he thought his job was to negotiate the best -- second best place he could for the united states of america. because, these people believed that the totalitarian government was more efficient and could get things done better and could produce better. well, now we know that is not so. it is the free market that produces better. better things, more inventions. better quality of everything. and of course, in the years after ronald reagan failed to get the nomination in 1976, he and others were traveling the country, talking to little groups, redefining their conservative image. and he had a different view. he thought when it comes to dealing with the soviet union, he had another message. we win, they lose. and he made it work. and so -- [applause]. >> -- despite our belief that we couldn't win, we did win. it was a shock to a lot of us in 1980 when ronald reagan actually won and the same thing happened after clinton won in 1992. we couldn't believe it. and two years later we came back and had the biggest r

fighting along the border could escalate, and there were these soviet proposals asking henry kissinger, well, you know, what if t soviet union decided to destroy china's nuclear capabilities? how would the u.s. respond? you don't want to get into that kind of scenario because of the unpredictable conquences. so where is it now, it's not the kind of, it's not a direct security threat at the present. now, china itself is going to prent security problems for the united states as it continues to evolve economically, militarily. how the russians play into that will be a factor, but it's not the main factor. the main factor is that the chinese-americans i still think have very difrent visions of where they want to see the world evolve, and you're seeing that now in the contest of sovereignty over the south china sea. again, the chinese haven't directly confronted the united states. it's not clear that china will become a major security threat to the united states, but insofar as this economy can strengthen, that gives them military potential. it's a latent potential that could become a probl
